so if Cuba was a democratic country, the US would have allowed it to install Soviet missiles?

It is now the year 2025, and I hope that we have moved beyond using policies and actions from the 1960s to justify illiberal and harmful decisions being made today.

But to address your question—Cuba sought to install Soviet missiles to ensure the survival of its regime, not as an expression of the will of its people. Moreover, when democratic and liberal countries invite foreign troops and weapons onto their territory—such as Germany did—I do not recall any neighboring countries threatening nuclear war.
